(Daily Mail) A hardline Muslim preacher suspected of radicalising three British jihadis told teenage disciples that it is ‘permissible’ under Islam to have sex slaves.

Ali Hammuda, an Imam at a Cardiff mosque where three young jihadis from the city worshipped before travelling to Syria to join Islamic State, also told the group of boys as young as 13 that the ‘day of judgment is close’ – a key part of IS’s warped propaganda.

The revelations come amid heightened fears over the Islamist terror threat in the UK in the wake of the bloody attacks in France.

Hammuda is still preaching at the same mosque, two years after the three ‘Cardiff jihadis’ – Nasser Muthana and Reyaad Khan, then 20, and Muthana’s younger brother Aseel, then 17 – left for Syria in 2014.

Hammuda is still preaching at the same mosque, two years after the three ‘Cardiff jihadis’ – Nasser Muthana and Reyaad Khan, then 20, and Muthana’s younger brother Aseel, then 17 – left for Syria in 2014.

More than half of those attacks have been beyond big cities in places "not traditionally under threat of terrorist attacks," says IntelCenter. This rash of random, low-tech but deadly attacks has fueled public unease in Europe and eroded faith in governments to tackle the threat of terrorism or discern who might turn to violence.

Two teenage Syrian refugees have confessed to the murder of a man found bound with cable ties and strangled in a bath tub.

The 19-year-olds were arrested in the towns of Puch bei Hallein and Thalgau, close to the murder scene in the Austrian city of Salzburg.

According to a report by the Salzburg Nachrichten, the victim was a Serbian national who worked as a toilet cleaner at the Salzburg railway station who had befriended the two young men, who have not been named, and invited them back to his house.

It appears that they accepted the invitation with the intention of committing the crime, as before the two Syrians went to the victim’s home, they bought a 'death kit' of disposable gloves and tape at a nearby gas station, according to local media.

And they have exactly the sort of morals that you would expect.

Both of the men have confessed to the crime, according to the police who said that when the Syrian was asked why he was wearing the clothes of his victim, he reportedly said: "I don't see why I should not, I washed them before I put them on."

(IBT) A respected cleric was arrested in Afghanistan after allegedly marrying a 6-year-old girl. Mohammad Karim claimed that the child was offered to him as a gift and that her parents had full knowledge of the marriage. But when the child was interviewed by police she said: "I am afraid of this man."The 60-year-old Muslim holy man from the Ghor province in Afghanistan claims the girl was a "religious offering". He added: "The girl was given to me as a gift and we were married so I could raise her."

The ceremony was held during the month of Ramadan, which was witnessed by around 40 people, according to Radio Free Liberty. However, the girl's parents strenuously refute any knowledge of this, saying that their daughter was abducted.

According to the deputy police commander of Ghor: "This man has said his wedding to this girl was approved by her mother and father." Police arrested Karim on 27 July and he is being held in the provincial capital, Firuz Koh.

"We spoke to her parents and they strongly deny they attended the wedding," Mohammad Zeman Azami said. "On the phone, the parents told me their daughter was kidnapped."

The child is expected to be returned to her parents in the near future, as she is currently being cared for in a shelter, where there are concerns for her wellbeing, even though it is believed she was not physically harmed.

Karim said he did not have sexual intercourse with the 6-year-old, which was confirmed by Dr Nashafarin Shihab, from the main hospital in Firuz Koh.

"An examination was carried out in the presence of two midwives," she said. "The examination showed that the girl had endured no physical or psychological harm."

Masooma Anwar, the head of the provincial women's affairs office in Ghor, described the purported marriage as "shocking".

"Perhaps this girl has been kidnapped, trafficked, or was married to this man," said Anwar. "We cannot determine the facts yet. We are working to find out the 100% truth of what happened."

"This girl does not speak, but repeats only one thing: 'I am afraid of this man'," She added.

Child marriages are on the increase in Afghanistan, according to the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC). "In some regions, because of insecurity and poverty the families marry off their daughters at a very early age to get rid of them," AIHRC chief Sima Samar said.

(Ankara) It appears that the Kurds, taking note of the clampdown on the Turkish military by the pPocket dictator in charge, thought it would be a good time in which to launch an attack in which to shout out:

"Hello!"

The only problem was, the Turkish ministry has only been culled of forces which don't fully support the Nazi in chief.

The Kurds' advance was spotted by a UAV and in turn they were attacked from the air before they could start their mission. The result - 35 dead Kurds in the country’s southeastern Hakkari province.

(Beijing) It appears that the Mandarins in power in China are still smarting over how the UN sided with the Philippines over how the Chinese dragon is bullying everybody and anybody in the entire China Sea in regards to territorial territory. Beijing claims areas (defined by the nine-dash line) which clearly belong to other nations as depicted in the map below:

Whilst remaining silent on the verdict, it is very clear to the entire world that China isn't going to take any notice of the UN and will continue to expand its empire at the expense of everybody else in the region. Beijing knows only too well that the countries which border its self proclaimed 9 dash line pose no threat to its imperial ambitions, however, they all look towards the US and Australia in which to seek moral support. China knows it cannot intimidate the US, but Australia is another matter. Which is why the Chinese government mouthpiece The Global Times has posted an open threat to Australia for supporting the UN decision and openly states that if any Australian Navy ships enter the South China Sea, they will be open to military attack.

Analysts say that besides trying to please the US, it also intends to suppress China so as to gain a bargaining chip for economic interests. China must take revenge and let it know it's wrong. Australia's power means nothing compared to the security of China. If Australia steps into the South China Sea waters, it will be an ideal target for China to warn and strike.

(Times of Israel) Elite Israel Defense Forces naval commandos and the US Marine Corps last week conducted a joint military exercise in the Negev Desert aimed at preparing American forces for combating regional terror groups, including the Islamic State.

The soldiers took part in simulated helicopter landings in enemy territory, tunnel warfare scenarios and extractions under fire, a Channel 2 TV report said Thursday.

Israeli commanders reportedly demonstrated IDF counterterrorism tactics to US forces to be used in the US campaign against the Islamic State and other jihadist groups in the Middle East.

PHILADELPHIA (Times of Israel) — Protesters set an Israeli flag on fire and chanted “Long live the intifada” outside of the Democratic National Convention site in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, as others clashed with police.

A woman wearing a black bandana on her face lit the flag on fire, as protests continued outside of the secure zone around the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Someone stood nearby waving a Palestinian flag.

(Geldern) On the Dutch-German border, a gang of male Islamic youths took umbridge at how a swimming pool behind closed doors allowed naked swimming for those who wanted the freedom to do just that. So, obviously incensed at how people in Germany have the freedom to do as they like, they used that very freedom in which to storm the swimming pool in which to publicly berate the people, primarily women and children. (Strangely enough, not before 2 of these bigots took the time to have a swim among the naked women and children.) When asked to leave by the staff, these peaceful bigots took to abusing the women by calling them all sluts, shouting out ‘Allah Ackba’.

They were chased out by staff who had also called the police. However, on checking their IDs they were allowed to go on their way.

(ISW) The nice people at the Institute for the Study of War have brought out a map which shows the situation inside Syria as of last Friday.

The failed coup attempt in Turkey on July 15 will generate significant upheaval in the Syrian Civil War. Turkish President Recep Erdogan will likely direct his attention inward over the coming months in order to purge his domestic rivals and consolidate his power. This distraction will likely disrupt the flow of material, financial, and intelligence support provided to opposition groups by Turkey, enabling short-term military gains by a number of actors including Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The Syrian Kurdish YPG may also exploit this moment in order to take further steps towards the establishment of an autonomous federal region along the Syrian-Turkish Border while Turkey remains incapable of mustering a coherent military response. At the same time, the ongoing political instability threatens the continued ability of the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition to conduct air operations out of Incirlik Airbase in Southern Turkey, presenting a complication to ongoing military efforts that could slow the current momentum against ISIS in Northern Syria. Over the long-term, the ongoing purges will likely allow Erdogan to remove the internal obstacles that prevented him from pursuing deeper intervention into the Syrian Civil War, including the provision of advanced weapons to the opposition or the establishment of a ‘safe zone’ along the border. Erdogan will likely augment these policies with expanded aid to Salafi-Jihadist groups such as Ahrar al-Sham that provide a support network for Al-Qaeda in Syria. The coup thus threatens to fuel the spread of radicalization and regional disorder.

(Sagamihara) In February 26-year-old car worker Satoshi Uematsu sent a letter to the speaker of the lower house of Japan’s parliament. In the letter, Uematsu argued that the government should permit euthanasia for disabled people, said he would be willing to carry out such killings himself, and detailed how he would do it.

“I envision a world where a person with multiple disabilities can be euthanised, with an agreement from the guardians, when it is difficult for the person to carry out household and social activities.”

Uematsu’s letter said he could “wipe out a total of 470 disabled individuals” by targeting two facilities for disabled people during the night shift, “when staffing is low”.

The authorities, on being made aware of Mr Uematsu somewhat polarised missive, sacked him from his position as a care worker for disabled people and had him committed to the local looney bin. In March he was deemed to have been healed and was let back into the general population.

Well, last night he crept into the Tsukui Yamayuri En (Tsukui Lily Garden) facility in Sagamihara, south of Tokyo, and murdered 19 disabled people whilst they slept. Afterwards he drove to the local police station and handed himself in.

(Normandy) 2 knife wielding followers of Allah decided to enter the church in the small French town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and take 5 people (including a priest and two nuns) hostage during a morning mass. Thankfully, a sixth managed to escape and inform the police. On the arrival of the police a hostage situation developed which lasted for just one hour.

The police moved in after the hostage takers emerged on to the courtyard of the church and slit the throat of the 84-year-old Father Jacques Hamel which then saw both terrorists taken out, but not before another hostage was seriously injured.

French soldiers are already protecting Jewish institutions from Islamists; now they will have to expand to Catholic institutions as well.

PHILADELPHIA (WFB) — A Democratic member of the House Armed Services Committee compared Jewish Israeli settlers to termites on Monday while speaking at an event sponsored by an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts of the Jewish state.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) launched into a tirade against Israel and its policies toward the Palestinians, comparing Jewish people who live in disputed territories to “termites” that destroy homes. Johnson also compared Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a remark that drew vocal agreement from those in the room.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers set off on foot Friday toward Serbia's border with Hungary to protest its decision to keep its border closed for most people trying to reach the European Union.

Migrants held cardboard placards saying "Hungary Open Borders" or "No Borders, No Fence" as they marched Friday in a long column along a road leading north from Belgrade toward the Hungarian border 200 kilometers (120 miles) away.

Several police cars drove slowly by the marchers, who were carrying bags and blankets. Most migrants appeared to be young men who stand little chance of entering Hungary or other EU nations.

(NYP) ISIS claimed responsibility Saturday for two suicide bombings that ripped through Kabul, killing at least 80 people and wounding hundreds during a protest by Shia minorities in the Afghan capital.

The attack came as thousands of ethnic Hazaras gathered at Demazang Square to demand that a major power line pass through their electricity-starved province of Bamiyan, one of the poorest areas of Afghanistan.

Police officers working left-wing protests at the RNC in Cleveland reported burning, numbness.

CLEVELAND () — Cleveland police are warning the public not to accept stickers from strangers after two officers working protests at the Republican National Convention suffered mysterious skin irritations.

“If you’ve received a sticker from someone you that you don’t know, that you stuck on your skin, we advise that you remove it and wash the area with soap and water,” Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia, a police spokeswoman said Thursday night.

Two officers — a Georgia state trooper and a Cleveland policeman — received medical treatment after suffering skin burns and numbness while controlling crowds at the city’s public square outside the RNC.

The Georgia state trooper, one of hundreds of officers from around the country working in Cleveland during the convention, reported his injury after receiving a yellow sticker from a protestor.

“We’re still investigating the context in which the sticker came in contact with him,” Ciaccia said. “But there was no assault or anything like that that occurred with it.”

The Cleveland officer reported similar symptoms a short time later, but apparently didn’t recall being given a sticker. Both officers were treated at nearby medical tents and did not require hospitalization.

“For right now the officers are OK,” the sergeant said.

A man carrying some of the stickers was later apprehended and questioned by the FBI. His stickers were sent to a lab for testing. According to radio traffic, police were planning to charge the unidentified suspect with assaulting a police officer, but Ciaccia said no charges have yet been filed.

“Whether or not this is all connected, we’re not sure,” she said.

According police scanner communications, California and South Carolina troopers also reported that protesters were believed to be trying to jab officers with syringes.

“We did not have any officers injured by needles or syringes,” Ciaccia said at the evening news conference.

But police did, out of caution, immediately add syringes to the list of prohibited items for the RNC, the sergeant said.

As of Thursday night, 23 people have been arrested this week on various charges related to protests near the convention, police said.

(JPost) A deadly shooting rampage in Munich, Germany - which police say has left at least nine people dead - was perpetrated near the Munich Olympic stadium where Palestinian militant group Black September took 11 Israeli athletes hostage and eventually killed them during the 1972 Olympic Games.

Gunmen on Friday evening attacked a busy shopping mall, spraying bullets as people fled in horror for safety from what police said was a terrorist attack.

Police said nine people had been killed and the attackers were still at large. They told the public to get off the streets as the city - Germany's third biggest - went into lock down, with transport halted and highways sealed off.

Friday's attack took place a week after a 17-year-old asylum-seeker wounded passengers on a German train in an axe rampage. Bavarian police shot dead the teenager after he wounded four people from Hong Kong on the train and injured a local resident while fleeing.

The incidents in Germany follow an attack in Nice, France, on Bastille Day in which a Tunisian drove a truck into crowds, killing 84. Islamic State also claimed responsibility for that attack.

Friday is also the five-year anniversary of the massacre by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway. Breivik is a hero for far-right extremists in Europe and America.

(Florida) I've made it quite clear I have no time for the 'Black Lives Matter' crowd and that they have generated a vapid anti police movement across black America which simply is not justified. But the simple fact remains - the US police have a huge image problem with black people.

Yet in Florida, the police really didn't help their cause one bit when Charles Kinsey, an unarmed black mental health therapist who was in the process of looking after his ward (an autistic man with a toy truck in his hands) was shot whilst laying on his back with his hands in the air while telling the police he was a mental health therapist looking after an autistic man with a toy truck in his hand.

Police received a call that a man was threatening to shoot himself and when they came across an autistic man and his black carer, they decided to shoot first and ask questions later. When Mr Kinsey asked the man who shot him why he did it, he replied:

"I don't know."

You know what, I'd treat this as an attempted murder, jail the SOB who shot this innocent man, sue the police for millions and try and bring some sanity back to community relations. The last thing we need is more innocent policemen murdered because a trigger happy copper had a lack of common sense.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian police arrested 10 people who allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group on social media and discussed possible attacks during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, officials said Thursday.

Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said in the capital, Brasilia, that 10 suspects had been detained and two more were being sought. All are Brazilian, and one is a minor. The gender of the people was not given.

Police acted because the group discussed using weapons and guerrilla tactics to potentially launch an attack during the Olympics, which begin Aug. 5, Moraes said.

However "they were complete amateurs and ill-prepared" to actually launch an attack, Moraes said. "A few days ago they said they should start practicing martial arts, for example."

Still, Moraes said even disorganized groups should be taken seriously.

The arrests were made in 10 different states, including Sao Paulo and Parana in the southern part of the country, and it was not clear whether the suspects knew each other beyond their online contacts. Moraes said there were no specific targets for an attack.

Moraes said they had all been "baptized" as Islamic State sympathizers online and none had actually traveled to Syria or Iraq, the group's stronghold, or received any training. Several were allegedly trying to secure financing from the group, known by the acronym ISIS.

The justice minister said one of the suspects communicated with a store in Paraguay via email in an alleged attempt to by an AK-47 assault rifle, apparently the most concrete action taken toward a possible attack. That email communication was intercepted by police.

(London) A British serviceman, out jogging yesterday outside his base in Norfolk, England, was set upon by 2 Muslim looking men armed with a knife in what is perceived to be seen as a kidnap attempt.

The serviceman, who is in his late 20s, was out running yesterday at around 3pm local time outside RAF Marham in Norfolk. As he was jogging along a fairly isolated route used regularly by base personnel, he was grabbed by a man from a parked, dark coloured people carrier. The man who was between 20 and 30 years old, approximately 6ft (1.81m) tall, of athletic but stocky build, with dark hair, long on top, and a well-groomed beard of an Middle Eastern appearance with dark skin and wearing dark casual clothing grabbed the serviceman as he ran past.

Unfortunately for ‘Mohammed’, he ended up on the floor within seconds. This was when the second man (of a slimmer build, 5ft 10in (1.78m) tall, clean shaven, with short dark hair, also of Middle Eastern appearance and wearing a white t-shirt and dark shorts) made his move whilst armed with a military knife. However, on seeing his friend on the floor, he went to help him, rather than tackle the serviceman who saw his chance to run away.

The British Police on the ball, as always, has reported that:

"The motivation for the attack remains unclear and whilst we are currently unable to discount terrorism, there are a number of other possible hypotheses."

(RT) A 37-year-old man identified as ‘Mohamed B’ has stabbed a mother and her three daughters at a vacation center in southeast France for being dressed too lightly, local authorities said.

The man attacked the woman and her daughters – aged 8, 12 and 14 – in the resort town of Laragne-Monteglin in the Hautes-Alpes region, outraged at the fact that they were wearing shorts and T-shirts, local Deputy Mayor Jean-Marc Duprat said, according to AP.

The life of one of the daughters, an eight-year-old girl, is reportedly in danger and she is receiving treatment at a hospital in the town of Gap. Her mother and sisters, 12 and 14 years old, have also been admitted to the same hospital.

The incident happened at about 10am on Tuesday morning at the VVF vacation center located in the Garde-Colombe department in the Haute-Alpes area.

The attacker violently stabbed the woman and girls, before driving away from the scene. He was detained a few minutes later.

Some local media suggested earlier that a possible religious motive may also have been behind the attack.

French media also said the man was not on the so-called ‘Fiche S’ list, associated with radicalized individuals.

(ABC) The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for an attack onboard a train in Germany Tuesday that left three people seriously injured, according to the terrorist group's news agency.

The announcement comes hours after a 17-year-old Afghan refugee attacked passengers with an axe and a knife. He was shot and killed during an altercation with police after fleeing the scene, a Bavarian police spokesman told ABC News.

The three injured are in serious condition, one is less serious, and 14 others were being treated for shock, according to the spokesman.

Police said the incident occurred on a local train heading towards Würzburg at Heidingsfeld, in Bavaria.

Joachim Hermann, the interior minister of Bavaria, said investigators found a hand-painted flag of the Islamic State group in the attacker's room.

Hermann told a German TV Station that he didn't rule out the possibility that one of the victims could die in the attack. He said that a special police unit was rerouted to the scene and apprehended the attacker in Heidingsfeld.

"Completely by chance there was a special police unit working in Würzburg which immediately rerouted," Hermann said. "They apprehended the attacker in Heidingsfeld. There, presumably, the attacker then turned on police with his knife or axe and so the police officers opened fire and shot the attacker."

(Syria) Whilst I won't say the Russian involvement hasn't been effective (a lot more than the US effort), they have resorted to blanket bombing a target in which to get the job done. The vast majority of their missions have used bombs no different than those used during WWII. The US-led coalition on the other hand have used precision guided munitions (PGM) combined with targeting pods in which to surgically strike idiots such as ISIS. Here is one such example north of the Syrian city of Manbij on the 5th July 2016.

(Berlin) Police in Germany have shot dead a 17-year-old Afghan who apparently ran amok with an axe on a scheduled train service between Treuchtlingen to Würzburg, injuring 20 people, 3 with life threatening injuries. Due to the severity of the attack, the train made an emergency stop at Würzburg-Heidingsfeld, where armed police were waiting. The perpetrator saw his chance to depart the train and was shot dead while fleeing from security forces, who had no other option but to shoot dead the assailant.

(Dhaka) A bunch of machete-wielding men with nothing better to do today decided to attack members of a Sufi Muslim order in western Bangladesh, injuring three people, the latest in a spate of attacks on religious minorities.

Around eight religious bigots, armed with bamboo sticks and machetes, set upon the Sufis on Saturday night while they were asleep in a village in the border district of Chuadanga. Three members of the group were beaten by the attackers. They included a 50-year-old woman who had suffered grievous injury with a sharp weapon.

Just what is it about Sunni Muslims and their inability to live anybody, including Muslims?

BALTIMORE (WBFF) -- Baltimore Police are investigating a vandalism that took place at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

A Baltimore Police spokesperson says the incident occurred Friday morning, July 15, at one of the entrances of the museum with the graffiti words 'Kill Cops' spray painted.

Officials confirmed they are looking for a female suspect in connection with the incident that surveillance video captured of her performing the vandalism. They believe that this is a random act of violence.

The words were removed and cleaned in the area where the graffiti was written.

Baltimore Museum communications director, Anne Brown, said they are cooperating with police on the investigation.
